Nothing has confounded human kind more than the new buzzwords in the industry – Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). There is ‘smartness’ all around us – smart grids, smart sensors, smart meters, smart cities and more. These are times when hardware and software converge, enabling machine to machine transfer of information. When every day appliances are talking and learning, should high-end industrial assets be left behind?

Have you ever realised that of late you are calling out to OK Google, Alexa or Siri more often than your spouse or kid’s name? Can you still call your

television an ‘idiot box’, especially when it is smartly collating data on your entertainment preferences and patterns – a key decision-making tool to television advertisers and content feeders? Google search is indeed a retail service that even your grandmother is now familiar with. Today there is a bot out there behind every online market place you visit, every page you view on the internet. While we may not be conscious of the machinations of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc., we are directly experiencing these in retail banking, financial services, online retail, etc. The machine learns your preferences

when you shop and targets you with advertisements that are relevant. As soon as you land on a financial services website, there is an ‘avtar’ asking you what you are looking for and presenting to you all that you need. Simple day-to -day machines such as washing machines with fuzzy logic that ‘knows’ how much water to use and how many wash cycles to include based on pre-programed logic are very basic instances of smart machines. We have taken all these in our stride.

These are times when hardware and software converge, enabling machine to machine transfer of information. When every day appliances are talking and learning, should high-end industrial assets be left behind?

The IIoT Bogey ManNothing has confounded human kind more than the new buzzwords in the industry – Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). There is ‘smartness’ all around us – smart grids, smart sensors, smart meters, smart cities and many more. Indeed the Internet of Things (IoT) has touched every aspect of our lives, including the industrial sector. IIoT is a reality today. With industrial automation, a large amount of data is generated from the operational process. Can the data be made to work to optimise production processes, enhance productivity, streamline logistics, predict events and asset management? Is it all about plugging in IT technologies and taking it to the cloud, and waiting for the operational benefits to kick in? Clearly; there is more to this than just IT application and process automation.

We stand on the threshold of Industry 4.0 when increasingly, machines are smart and embedded with artificial intelligence such that industrial assets are capable of proactively taking decisions based on pre-programed/predictive events. This is happening due to the convergence of technologies in manufacturing/operations, persuasive network, big data analytics and cloud computing. The huge transformation arising from the marriage of Operational Technologies (OT) and IT infrastructure is the tipping point for industries to adopt IIoT. According to an Asian Development Bank Report, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) defines IoT as “a network that

Jargons demystifiedIoT (Internet of Things) is referred to connected network of things – (where things could be objects, appliances, handsets or even people).

Industry 4.0: Various industrial revolutions have brought about disruptive trends. Industry 1.0 caused disruption with mechanisation, steam power & hydro power; Industry 2.0 brought in electricity, mass production, assembly line etc; Industry 3.0 was all about automated and computerised systems; Industry 4.0 is bringing about disruption through cyber physical systems connected to the internet and using big data to bring about greater efficiencies.

connects uniquely identifiable ‘Things’ to the Internet”. The ‘Things’ have sensing/actuation and potential programmability capabilities. Through the exploitation of unique identification and sensing, information about the ‘Thing’ can be collected and the state of the ‘Thing’ can be changed from anywhere, anytime, by anything.” A ‘thing’ or an asset can be made ‘smart’ with sensors and actuators that send out data and information. ‘Things’ can be connected to the internet or the cloud with its unique identity and data it emits. The data can be programed to perform certain tasks with respect to the performance of the ‘thing’. In response, the ‘thing’ performs actions as per the algorithm to favourably impact the operation or process. In essence, Enterprise IT architecture has moved to an advanced stage to converge OT with the assistance of sensors and actuators, communication infrastructure, artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

Thus, the industrial revolution is now in the 4.0 stage where cyber physical systems converge to provide collaboration between machines and humans. An ADB report cites a McKinsey paper stating, ‘The total IoT market size in 2015 was $900 billion and is projected to grow to $3.7 trillion in 2020. It also states that IoT is projected to have a potential economic impact of $3.9 to 11.1 trillion per year in 2025.’

directly impacts our daily lives. However, from an industry perspective, transformation and change is at a tipping point and poised precariously. The question arises – should legacy systems be trashed to adopt the new technologies? Is such capital expenditure necessary and where is the ROI coming from?

Over the decades, modernisation in operational assets have been slow. Companies have scaled operations with greenfield asset investments or inorganic acquisitions of other facilities. However, a holistic approach to adoption of new technologies, uniformly, across manufacturing facilities, has not really happened. As a result, assets may not be functioning at their optimal best. While the mindset for adopting IIoT has set in, the holistic transformation of man, machine and processes to IIoT is in its infancy.

The research fi rm Gartner predicts that by 2020 around 25 billion connected ‘things’ will be in use and their disruptive impact will be felt across all industries and all areas of society.

McKinsey Global Institute predicts that the IoT will have a total economic impact of $3.9–11.1 trillion per year by 2025 (70% within business-to-business).

Research by Cisco suggests that the “Internet of Everything” – the networked connections between people, data, processes and things – will create an economic opportunity of $14.4 trillion for companies and industries worldwide during the next decade.

A recent joint study by the Global e-Sustainability Initiative and Boston Consulting Group estimates that IoT-enabled solutions – increasing the effi ciency of the transmission, distribution and use of power – could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 9.1 billion tonnes by 2020, representing 16.5% of the projected total in that year.- World economic Forum report

✔ Several original equipments are very old and historical

data on the asset may not be available. Lack of

centralised data and/or data analysis results in increased

maintenance or unplanned downtimes which can prove

expensive.

✔ Industry 3.0 brought about connectivity and automation,

however, plant assets are still not optimal as adoption of

4.0 technologies have been slow. This results in sub-

optimal performance of assets due to lack of accurate

prediction of asset downtime and asset life cycle

management.

✔ Some advanced industries such as the Oil & Gas industry,

automobile sector, to name a few, do have upgraded

technologies – both in hardware and automation

systems. The question remains – have these sectors

moved from predictive analysis of the data output to

proactive and prescriptive analysis and algorithm - based

decision-making? This is pertinent, since modern IIoT

enables operational excellence through prescriptive

decision - making tools that completely eliminate risk of

human error and lead to operational excellence.

As in the consumer and retail business, in the industrial environment, the first step towards IIoT is the digitisation process, followed by the digitalisation of the processes. So, what is the difference?

State of the matter- A checklist✔ Disparate assets with varying capabilities resulting in

sub-optimal operations excellence.

✔ Old assets following old operational techniques, co-exist

with newer assets with automated process. Net result is

a disparity in asset capability within various production

facilities within a single organisation. This raises

concerns on safe and optimal operations and rising cost

of unscheduled downtime.

✔ There is an increasing onus arising from climate

change concerns and the need to smarten legacy

systems to function optimally as per newly established

compliance standards throws up an impending need

to upgrade current plant assets.

✔ Various production facilities within a single entity

function as silos and best practices cannot be

replicated across the plants due to lack of asset data

analysis. Much of the data generated in the modern

systems do not add up to business benefits.

✔ Automation, sensors and controls are either obsolete,

require manual interpretation or are difficult to

upgrade and modernise.

digitalisation is an imperative.

✔ A Capgemini research report indicates 4.7% of global CO2

emissions from power generation can be saved annually

with digital plants.

✔ A World Economic Forum white paper on the Electricity

Industry & IIoT impact, covering generation, transmission

and consumption projected the benefits as:

$387 billion in value through asset performance

lower critical breakdowns

$438 billion in value through comprehensive customer

$445 billion in value – through operational optimisation

network controls, energy aggregation platform, and

connected, inter-operable devices

4.0 full throttle – The digitalisation journey to IIoTMoving towards cyber-physical systems and assisted decision-making calls for a re-imagining of things, the way they function and are optimised. The biggest challenge is the cost and the disruption. At the centre of IIoT is the asset. The re-thinking towards digitalisation begins here. Plant asset and its management is no longer about checking and maintenance till ‘death do us apart’.

According to Gartner, “Digitisation is the process of changing from analog to digital form. Digitalisation is the use of digital technologies to change a business model and provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities; it is the process of moving to a digital business.”

When various assets are digitised, data is created for the assets and is used as a reference point for the transformation process. For instance, facilities may have plant assets that are 40 years old. The engineering drawings of the facility or the technical data of large boilers, generators, etc., may not be available. With digitisation, information pertaining to these assets can be created and stored in digital form. This helps in creating and viewing the processes in a simulated environment, facilitating decision-making on the digital transformation process, virtually.

While digitisation may be the first step, the digitalisation process is a transformation towards a digital business, that requires a well-planned strategy. The transformation is enabled by the convergence of Engineering technology, Operations, Smart Asset Infrastructure, Information Architecture, Cloud computing architecture and IIoT. To facilitate the convergence of all such technologies,

expertise in process and industry will help realise the value in the digitalisation journey. This will lead to operational excellence from implementing IIoT.

Where does the value come from✔ Connected assets, connected facilities, optimised data

analytics, managed with globally consistent systems.

✔ Centralised business and operations’ data analytics for

production excellence in geographically distributed

production facilities; asset optimisation on ‘fleet’ basis.

✔ Smart sequencing of asset maintenance activity

minimising production down-time; Precise prediction

and proactive action for asset failure management.

✔ Availability of video and GPS data to collaborate with

suppliers and OEMs across the production chain; generation

of new service models with asset suppliers to optimise

production/automation process will bring about efficiency

in operations and overall value creation/cost reduction.

✔ Cloud-based analytics can provide key information for sharp

decision-making, easily accessed on a mobile or tablet.

✔ New service models are being created, across the

value chain, which calls for a transformation towards

digitalisation because digital technologies underscore

the need for a collaborative model. To be competitive

for the collaborative eff orts of all such experts to bring about the IIoT transformation, cost eff ectively.

Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE) is among the pioneering consultants who bring to the table all the expertise, to handhold manufacturing facilities through the IIoT transformation journey. TCE has established working relationships with IT systems and hardware experts, cloud computing experts, big data analytics experts, etc. TCE adds to this team, its vast experience in managing multiple partners and specialist engineering capabilities that is the backbone for the IIoT transformation. For, IT infrastructure and big data makes sense only with the strong backing of the domain expertise in plant and process which are specifi c to each industry. This specialisation combined with digital engineering is the value addition that makes the IIoT transformation a modularised process, taken one milestone at a time.

Digitalisation rebootTransforming to a digitalised environment and implementing IIoT is a strategic move and is the only option to prevent large assets from going obsolete. If cost of adoption of IIoT is a constraint, it must be weighed against the cost of facilities/operations processes being obsolete. Factoring the benefi ts of IIoT strengthens the business case. The good news is that digitisation enables virtual simulation. Before plunging into IIoT, informed and planned transformation is possible using a walkthrough or simulated environment. Taking a pilot approach or modularised fi tment helps manage the cost and disruption.

IIoT = CollaborationIn the fi nal analysis, an IT partner cannot ‘fi t’ assets with an IIoT system. A process consultant in the energy sector alone may not be in a position to ‘ IIoT-ise’ production facilities. A big-data analyst cannot wave the analytics magic wand to provide the critical alert that can make or break a plant’s existence. IIoT calls

Plant asset and the asset life cycle management is a collaborative process between the supplier (OEM) and the customer. The possibilities arising from digitised assets is the game changer today.

For instance, digitised and connected ‘smart ‘ turbines and boilers can bring about effi ciency in operations and fool-proof safety measures. Smart turbines and smart boilers can be made intelligent with machine learning. Predictive analysis and diagnostics will shift to proactive analysis and programmatic logic by the smart assets. Some of the possibilities are – fi ne-tuning of operational parameters by optimising combustion of fuel according to fuel quality, optimisation of cleaning cycles of boilers, real-time report on the life-span of assets, the accurate prediction of asset shut down, data-backed prediction of residual life of plants, decisive safety related interventions through the operations process, centralised data analytics of all assets across the production cycle and across geographically dispersed plant facilities, etc.

TCE has established working relationships with IT systems & hardware experts, cloud computing experts, big data analytics experts, etc.

Smart ideas at #TCe-Smart CitiesSmart cities in India is every Indian’s dream. We all would like to live in

fancy cities, travel in hyperloops, zip through traffi c, breathe fresh clean air and live in environment-friendly townships. While we want all this, we

would still like to maintain our cultural heritage, retain our colourful diversity and preserve the essence of an Indian city. Living in a smart city calls for a transformation in our behaviour. The challenges we face today in our cities are many. The economic status of an average Indian in an Indian city is vastly diff erent from an average citizen of a developed country. Hence sustainability and cost effi ciency go together. How then do we smarten our cities which are steeped in culture and history?

Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE) is currently involved in several Greenfi eld Smart Cities and AMRUT city projects. The strategy being followed is an Area Based Development (ABD) approach wherein a marked area will be made ‘super smart’ with elements that are state-of-the-art and practised in advanced nations. This will then be replicated in other areas. Some projects are designed for the ABD and some are being implemented pan-city. The primary focus will be on reducing pollution and making cities healthier and cleaner. Some of the technically savvy projects being implemented in the smart cities where TCE is involved is explained here.

waste treatment and processing. In some cases there is no treatment or processing. The Automated Solid Waste Collection System will ensure collection of garbage from the source and transited through underground pipes to the central waste handling facility. With minimal manual intervention, the waste will be segregated and automatically sent to waste treatment facilities. TCE has tied up with a partner for installing such systems in the Gujarat International Financial Tech City, Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor-Dholera, Bhopal Smart City, Hubli Dharwad and many more cities. The Bhopal smartcity ASWCS is based on a vacuum suction system. The waste

is segregated at source and the central waste handling facility will automatically get alerts from the collection bins for periodic vacuum suctioning of the waste. This system has been implemented and is running successfully at 700 installations in over 30 countries. It is a self- sustaining mechanism as the option to create energy from waste is

possible. The system also ensures harmful and toxic waste is not manually handled by humans and health hazards are prevented.

The biggest challenge is a change in behaviour of citizens to ensure dry and wet waste is segregated and people take responsibility for disposing dry and wet waste effi ciently.

Bio ToiletsThe smart city of Guwahati plans to introduce Bio Toilets that are fully automated, complete with bio-digester. They are pre-fabricated, environment - friendly toilets with automatic user operation, with coin-based operation and a remote monitoring system. The bio-toilet’s, innovative technology manages waste in an eco-friendly manner. The pre-fabricated material is made of cold rolled steel to make it amenable to the Guwahati weather. The automated system comes with coin validator, pre fl ush, auto fl ush, automatic platform cleaning mechanism to clean the toilet before and after usage, LED light indicator to show when occupied, voice guidance and display board, GPRS connectivity to indicate health/hygiene status, disable-friendly facility etc. The connected bio-digester will ensure environment-friendly waste management and the 300 ltr tank will provide water.

India is committed to reducing carbon emissions and this promise takes eff ect in the smart cities’ development project. A minimum 10% of energy requirement of the city will come from renewable energy sources and a major source will be roof-top solar panels. The introduction of electric vehicles is a fi rst measure towards keeping this promise. The new smart cities will adopt electrical vehicles and legislation is currently being introduced in several ABD cities where areas are demarcated for electric/solar powered vehicles only. This calls for new infrastructure. Walking and cycling are also being encouraged with bicycle rental points and earmarked bicycle tracks.

Technovation

Solar powered vehiclesTCE has initiated the introduction of electric vehicles in Raipur and has proposed a subsidy of 60% under FAME - (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric) vehicles scheme such that incentives are given to users of electric vehicles (EV).

As a pan city initiative in Raipur, EV buses will ply across the city. The electric vehicles will be public transport buses and autorickshaws to begin with.The EVs will reduce carbon footprint and improve ambient air quality. The running cost of such vehicles will be lower than a fuel powered vehicle. With the FAME subsidy, EVs are a cost effi cient option to ease pollution affl icted cities.

Necessary infrastructure such as charging points for the EVs are also being planned. In the planning stage are ‘Battery charging and swiping stations’ where electric vehicles such as cars, autorickshaws and scooters can be charged or exhausted batteries may be exchanged with fully-charged units.

Solar powered bus stopsPlans are underway in Gandhinagar and other smart cities for solar powered bus stops which will have multi-purpose features. These bus stops, will have solar panels to generate solar power and connected to the grid. This location will also provide wifi -hotspots, passenger information systems, mobile charging points, etc.

The smart classrooms will come equipped with supporting infrastructure such as LED panels, Wifi connectivity, projectors, content, etc.

Smart transit hubInter-modal hub is designed for Ahmedabad smart city. The transit hub will link up rail, bus and short distance electric vehicles like e-autorickshaws, providing last mile connectivity. The multi-level car park will enable park-and-ride facility to encourage greater use of public transport and thereby reduce congestion in the city.

The smart transit hub consists of connectivity to BRTSystem, multi-level car parking, metro train station, charging points and electric vehicles, public bike share and commercial establishments/malls.

Smart parkingThe smart parking system has been proposed for Guwahati, Shimoga and Gandhinagar smart cities. Each parking lot will be installed with a wireless occupancy sensor which will send alerts on availability of parking slots. A connected LED display will project this information in real time. The connected mobile app will alert the user on the nearest available parking slots.

Smart classroomsRourkela smart city is scheduled to have smart classrooms to bring quality education to remote areas in the city. The classrooms are equipped with video-conferencing facilities, projecting remote lessons and content.

Solar trees & Smart lightingIn India’s smart cities, even trees are getting smart. The waterfront development in Guwahati and many other cities will have solar trees. The ‘leaves’ of the trees are solar PV panels. A standard ‘tree’ can be on-grid or off -grid with power generation capacity of 5 kw. The solar trees are multi-functional, serving as lighting in parks, wifi -zones, mobile phone charging spots, etc.

Bringing in energy efficiency to everyday life, all smart cities will have smart lighting. Street lights will

be fitted with an astronomical timer that will detect ambient light and switch on or switch off based on the light requirement. It is also equipped with an energy management system that will provide real-time data on the health and efficiency of the lights, bringing about greater efficiency in maintenance. With LED lights and due to the smart management of the lighting, more than 60% reduction in energy consumption can be achieved. Smart lighting is being implemented in almost all smart cities.

City-wide video surveillance systemsGuwahati is a city that is prone to disasters due to fl ooding. City wide video surveillance systems are being installed to ensure safety and security, to reduce crime rates, serve as an effi cient disaster management tool, assist in effi cient traffi c management, etc. This system was designed keeping in mind the existing infrastructure constraints.

Smart hawker zoneBhopal smart city and Shimoga smart city have a legacy of hawker encroachment that crowd and clutter the pathways. Smart hawker zones will provide designated areas and thematic shopping experience housing the hawking units.

As new cities are being added to the list, new ideas are being devised based on the unique requirement in each of the cities. While smart features certainly take the liveability index several notches higher, the fundamental need of the hour is to take responsibility for our cities, change our behaviour to help keep our cities not just smart but clean.

Flood management system Guwahati is nestled in the cradle of the Himalayas, rain water collected from Meghalaya and fed into the mighty Brahmaputra river. Heavy rains in the surrounding hills causes fl ooding every year during the monsoons bringing life to a standstill.

The fl ood management system in Guwahati will monitor rainfall data in catchment areas, water levels in major fl ood-prone areas and rivers such as the Brahmaputra, will be monitored through sensors. Rain gauges will be installed in various centres and information from the meteorological department will be collated to create a structured fl ood warning system.

Early warning systems and alerts through various platforms will be centrally collated at the Command & Control Centre. The information will be provided as alerts to the citizens through social media channels, SMS, radio, local cable networks etc. Call centres and disaster assistance desks will be available for citizen assistance and managed by the dedicated disaster management teams.

PrOMPT - PMI certifi ed project management certifi cation program for TCe

In the project management universe there are many

certifi cation options available. It is also true that these

standard program though robust, do not fi t all.

Diverse organisations such as TCE require Project Managers

to be certifi ed to manage projects in the most complex

environments. It was also important for TCE to create

ambassadors for driving a project management culture

within TCE.

TCE established delivery processes through WoW or Way

of Working, an iterative re-engineering process. It was

important to imbibe the defi ned WoW processes into

project management to show a clear-cut pathway in the

project management journey specially tailored for TCE.

PROMPT is TCE’s unique internal project management

certifi cation program with three layers. It starts with extract

of PMBoK (Project Management Body of Knowledge).

PROMPT is delivered through videos and online content

which mandates participants to go through 35 Professional

Development Units (PDUs) to formally acquire the PMP

certifi cation. The program has a 3-month pathway and

consists of a structured four-day training program,

In the second year of the sustainable livelihood project undertaken in Khoripada,

Jawhar, there have been several positive developments. At the start of the project, the village was in dire need of water and water retention capabilities to fulfil their basic needs. The lack of water was affecting these families in every walk of their life. Through our CSR initiatives, the villagers are now looking towards better living and earning opportunities.

Khoripada – the story so far

T he single source of water in the village of Khoripada was the community well, which was insuffi cient to meet the needs of the families. The other source was

a meagre stream a few kilometres away, a long walk to carry water back home everyday. To help ease the situation, a new group well has been planned to be constructed.

Water resource ManagementThe main purpose of the well would be to provide water for the plantations. A solar based drip irrigation system is being put in place to pump out water for drip irrigation purposes. Apart from the jalkunds formed to capture and store rain water, soil conversation methods of continuous contour trenches and farm bunds are made to harvest rain water.

I n addition to these major interventions, it is important build capacity of the villagers to adapt to these rapid changes and interventions. A village planning

committee for farmers, women’s SHG and youth SHG have been formed. They are given the necessary training to build a community mindset that works towards the village development.

Governance and Community Building

Livelihood interventions

Training and Awareness

W ith little to no income generation opportunities, the villagers were migrating to the city to earn their living.

In the last year, these families were provided income generating on support. Families with their own lands were engaged in fl oriculture and wadi (tree based) farming. With TCE’s support the villagers have jasmine and mango plantations, which would give them both long term and short term income. They are regularly given training to maintain and care for the plantation. For the landless farmers, alternative earnings are facilitated through backyard poultry and dry fi sh selling venture. The entire village hopes to generate sustainable income to support them through the year.

Regular training and exposure visits help the villagers in crop yield, farming and governance of SHG.
